java zip- create text file from list of string and zip them

java - create text files from list of string and zip them ( without creating temporary file)

 private static void list_of_string_into_text_file_and_zip_them_all(List dataList) throws Exception {

  File zipFile = new File("OutputZipFile.zip");
  ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zipFile));
  int count = 0;

  for (String string : dataList) {

   // repeat for each string
   String fileNameInsideZip = ++count + "-inside_text_file.txt";
   ZipEntry e = new ZipEntry(fileNameInsideZip);
   out.putNextEntry(e);

   // write data into zip entry
   byte[] data = string.getBytes();
   out.write(data, 0, data.length);
   out.closeEntry();
  }
  out.flush();
  out.close();

 }

Testing the code :

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
  // store string into text file - and zip them . doesnot create a
  // temporary text file.
  List test = new ArrayList();
  test.add("This is amazing");
  test.add("What a wonderful world");
  test.add("This is a beautiful day ");
  list_of_string_into_text_file_and_zip_them_all(test);
 }
